Strong Coffee

I just chose an arbitrary name pulled from one of the verses. Enjoy.

Strong Coffee

sitting
thinking
searching for the ways
to break out of his cage
watching the sun creep down
hoping that it's not too late
a reckless mind that won't put on the brakes

go let it out

stuck, then
waiting
listen to static on the radio
anything to chase the silence
that makes him think
they all say that it's ok

go let it out

don't put it off a little longer
it's every day's tomorrow
just take the first step and trust
the rest of you will follow

yesterday
had to stay
he remembers that she said
to go take a chance
his coffee's too strong like his mom used to make
but it's not the reason for his shakes

go let it out

moving
tomorrow
he tells himself he's treading in the water
and in the sunset and in the static
this is the end
this is the end of something

go let it out

don't put it off a little longer
it's every day's tomorrow
take that frightful first step and trust
the rest of you will follow
